Injury concerns worry Cook

After a narrow win in the 2nd ODI, captain Alastair Cook raised concerns over the fitness levels of his key bowlers.

Ryan Sidebottom, Stuart Broad and Graham Onions are all nursing injuries but they are expected to be fit before the test series.

Sidebottom is believed to have aggravated the injury that he suffered during the first T20 against Pakistan and he was forced to be left out of the 2nd ODI against Bangladesh. James Tredwell took his place in the side and did a pretty decent job.

Broad suffered a back niggle in the 2nd ODI and he left the field in the middle of the game. He could not complete his quota of 10 overs.

Graham Onions, who has been called for the two match Test series, is also in the recovery process after the pacer arrived in Bangladesh with a stiff back.

"Broady we're not sure about, it happened so soon and we need to give it 24-48 hours to settle down before any proper assessment," said Alastair Cook.

"Sidebottom is out of the next ODI, but fingers crossed he can get back to fitness. We have to check, we're not 100% sure how serious his thigh is, but we will have a better idea in the next 48 hours," he added.

"As a bowler when you get a bad back muscles try to protect it. You run around looking a bit stiff for a while but hopefully it will settle down overnight," said Cook.

England do have their reserve pace bowlers in Ajmal Shahzad and Liam Plunkett if Broad is unavailable for the 3rd ODI on friday.
